Location

Pittsburg/Bay Point station is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Pittsburg, California, United States, adjacent to the community of Bay Point. It serves northern and eastern Contra Costa County, as well as the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta. Passengers transfer between the light and heavy rail portions of the Yellow Line here, at a dedicated transfer platform east of the main station.

History

The station opened on December 7, 1996.

BART began service on the eBART line between Pittsburg/Bay Point and Antioch station on May 26, 2018. Unlike the rest of the BART system, the eBART extension uses small self-propelled diesel multiple unit (DMU) railcars, thus requiring a passenger transfer between the two different trains. A second island platform (with one track for eBART and one for conventional BART trains) was constructed 0.6 miles (0.97 km) to the east of the original Pittsburg/Bay Point platform, providing a cross-platform transfer for passengers transferring at the station. The transfer platform does not have street access, so eBART passengers exiting at Pittsburg/Bay Point must ride a mainline BART train connecting the two platforms.

A 2018 study recommended a footbridge to the north side of the tracks — either from the fare lobby or the parking lot — to improve access from nearby residential areas. A ramp to supplement the often-broken elevator from parking lot to fare lobby was also recommended. An entrance from Bailey Road at the east end of the platform was deemed infeasible.^[3]
